This movie's purpose is to increase the amount of hatred in the world. It feels like it was written in 2017 and it was unable to evolve from that godawful highschool level thinking

There’s an agenda being pushed forward and it’s all a massive statement. The format was terrible. Barbie is sold all over the world but apparently that wasn’t part of the inclusiveness and progressivism they tried to portray because it all happens in the US of course (they forgot that bit). There was lots of different Barbies but only one was fat ONE (they tried!) I went to a party preview of the movie and it was weird to see how divided people looked in the theatre. It was one of those movies I wish I could erase from my mind! Expand

Where do I start?
This is an awful, mind numbingly boring film that relies on famous faces to get people to watch it.
From the outset it seems that the message of this film is "we are women hear us moan" the Barbies all have perfect lives
Where do I start?
This is an awful, mind numbingly boring film that relies on famous faces to get people to watch it.
From the outset it seems that the message of this film is "we are women hear us moan" the Barbies all have perfect lives where they are showered with compliments and accolades all day long, they have everything they could ever desire but Margot Robbie's Character is still not happy.
Men are depicted as superfluous total morons who are only interested in either power or sexual harassment.
Characters are introduced in this film who bring nothing to the actual "storyline" but instead seem to purely be there to support the narrative that woman are amazing while men are bumbling muppets who can't figure out how to use a light switch without a woman's help. One thing that really annoyed me was the stereotypical depiction of the Construction workers making suggestive comments to Barbie while Ken stands there like a gormless man sack and does nothing, firstly I worked Construction for many years and I never once behaved like this, secondly if I were out with my "girlfriend " and someone acted this way toward her I would not stand for it, but Ken is depicted as vacant and weak.
Visually the Movie looks stunning it's such a shame the same effort wasn't put into the story.
I am all for strong female lead characters but I am not happy with the current trend of Man bashing that seems to be overtaking Hollywood recently, If I were to make a Movie today that bashed women in the same way ths does Men it would be protested against, I would be a pig and a chauvinist.

Warning: This movie is a box office trap - do not waste your money. It's the first movie I've ever had to walk out of the theater on halfway through. Below I'll explain why, in depth (no spoilers):

I'll start with the positives: - Great
Warning: This movie is a box office trap - do not waste your money. It's the first movie I've ever had to walk out of the theater on halfway through. Below I'll explain why, in depth (no spoilers):

I'll start with the positives:
- Great costume and set design, providing a distinctly bright, technicolor visual style
- Good acting from the male and female leads, Margo and Ryan
- Some quality camerawork
- Some may enjoy the self-aware, breaking the fourth wall, Deadpool-esque comedy, but the jokes are hit-and-miss, mostly low-brow, and seem an attempt to distract from the films shortcomings: lack of plot.
- Die-hard Barbie fans will likely want to go to see it simply because it is now a part of the Barbie Universe, but will likely leave feeling betrayed and that the Barbie brand has been defiled.

Now the negatives:
- Plot and characters are very weak, the empty narrative and fabulous set design serves simply as a Technicolor vessel for delivering it's political diatribe, and not much more.
-It is a trojan horse. The trailers were intentionally vague and nobody I met had any idea what the movie was about heading into it. This is on purpose- the movie is not a lighthearted, fun, summer comedy many expected. If people knew, they would not go.
- This movie is NOT for children - not only will the creators' radical views go way over their heads, it is simply not interesting, fun, nor is the comedy or messaging child-friendly.
- This movie is NOT for Barbie fans: I've experienced many Barbie fans walk away furious, as it does not represent the empowerment and message if equality, striving, and opportunity that Barbie represented to them, in fact it crushes that. The movie is an extended radical feminist diatribe, packaged within the guise of a fun summer blockbuster, maximizing both profits and political reach. Hollywood is very liberal- I get that, and am middle-of-the-road on the political spectrum, not right-wing or conservative by any means- and I respect many of its creations and nuanced political commentaries, but...
- This is not that. This is not nuanced, it is not subtle. The movie treats its audience as unintelligent, and half of the movie consists of very direct, radical feminist speeches, "preaching" their message down to the uniformed audience. Not just once, but numerous times. Even if I disagreed on the views, I would give credit to a movie that delivers it's message impactfully, in a nuanced way, or with deft creative craftsmanship. This is not that, not even close. It is so on the nose it becomes cringe, more and more as the movie goes on.
- The views it broadcasts are dangerous as well, particularly to the children and youth you would think are the target demographic: anti-white, anti-male, anti-homemaker, and the movie goes so far as to disrespect women who choose to get pregnant and have children. It does not share a message of equality for all, but rather revenge, subjugation, and disrespect of men. If you agree with those sentiments you will likely enjoy this film, even if it presents them in such a low-brow, in-your-face way, that requires no real thinking on the audience's part. Therein lies the target audience.
- This movie provides a no-thought-required circle-jerk for it's target audience: re-affirming the views of the more radical breed of social justice warriors, at the expense (literal expense, given the droves arriving in theaters and emptying their wallets due to social media advertising) of Barbie fans, the Barbie brand, and the rest of its unsuspecting audience.
- Spend your money this week to see Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Mission Impossible, Oppenheimer, Spiderman, or basically any other film that's playing now, as they are all better worth your time, and money.

Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen.

I don't say that lightly, from start to finish the movie is terrible, the movie startes with barbie living in barbieland and Ken being basically a slave, she finishes the movie by liberating barbieland and Ken returning to being a slave. I wouldn't have minded, if something happened between the start and finish, but nothing did, the movie had nothing to it, terrible cgi, no storyline and I will never get those 2 hours of my life back.

I went to see this after oppenheimer, which showed even more how bad barbie was. After watching this fast and furious 9 is Oscar worthy, that's how bad this film is, I would never recommend this to anyone, and I will never watch it again.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Felt like I paid to watch a two hour ad. While the movie is often funny and clever, it was overall disappointing.

Hollow overtures to feminism, overt misandry, and forced diversity were used to clean up Mattel's image and please the uncritical mainstream audience. While graphics were appealing, Barbies character itself is poorly developed & the storyline is incoherent… The story could not be resolved without Greta literally preaching her message at the end.

The movie could have been about feminism and equality, instead, however, it promotes matriarchy as solution to patriarchy. “Barbie” is reinforcing the problem. The movie touches on several interesting themes but never explores them which feels like wasted potential.

- The Mother-Daughter relationship. The daughter is disconnected with her mother and acts hostilely at school. You thought the movie will revolve about fixing that problem? No. The daughter has no problem. She's just a teenager.
- Thinking about death: The mother misses playing with her daughter and starts designing sad or “weird” Barbies. How does that relate to Barbie thinking about death specifically?
- The corporate: The corporate people who are all men try to catch Barbie so they can send her back to Barbieland. But when Barbie went to Barbieland they still followed her. It took them too long to get there for no apparent reason. And when they got there it just gets very confusing. Why are they in there?
- Barbie wanting to be human: A theme that starts with Barbie‘s interaction with an old lady and her observing other people. That motive disappears completely until the end, Barbie has no motivation to become human throughout the movie.
- Kens: The Movie tries to make Ken the bad guy even though he was just trying to be noticed and loved (woman good man bad mentality). You’d expect Ken has any meaningful development after the downfall of Kendom but he remains Barbie’s accessory.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First and foremost, the trailer was extremely misleading. This was not the Barbie in the real-world comedy i expected when i watched it.

Movie started out good, had some funny moments. But quickly changed into a man-hating fest and showing them off as completely incompetent.

They had the chance to promote equality at the end of the movie but the Barbies just laughed in the face of the Kens and basically told them to **** off.

It's two hours of non-stop aggressively anti-male propaganda. The film can't go more than 30 seconds without reminding you of the evils of "the patriarchy", how women are horribly oppressed, and how much better everything would be if only women were the only ones allowed to have power. It also **** on the concept of motherhood and relationships. Ken is just pathetically simping for Barbie the entire movie, and Barbie doesn't give a **** about him because she is literally a strong independent woman who don't need no man. There's even a narrator who explicitly tells you two minutes into the movie about how Barbie thinks she won the culture war for feminism, but little does she know in the real world women are horribly oppressed and victimized by men. This movie is literally a two hour radical feminist propaganda piece. Stay away at all costs. And for the love of god do not bring your kids to this - if all that garbage above wasn't enough to drive you away, Barbie is also obsessed with death the whole movie, they bring it up probably 5 or 6 times, and there are multiple not-so-subtle references to Barbie and Ken's genitals, including a scene where one of the Barbies says something along the lines of, "...but I sure wish I could see Ken's package under those shorts". If I had brought a young kid to this movie I would have walked out within the first 5 minutes. This is the worst movie I have ever seen, and it's not close. Expand

Terrible piece of ill imagination, doesn't really worth any more detailed criticism.

Like what should be even discussed here? Complete lack of any point aside from an attempt of a corporate to avoid feminist aggression for unrealistic body expectations?

The points brought in the movie look so stupid. After all women were already famous in professions like math, physics, acting, programming decades before Barbie existed.

Given the doll was invented by a woman, specifically for girls, with an amazing body because otherwise nobody would buy it at that time they still keep blaming men for something with absolutely 0 logical connection between the facts. Even my wife could not make any sense out of it.

Brainwashing drama at the end looks especially disgusting. Given men do not really have tools to brainwash girls in reality, but the very same Barbie doll did that a lot, being a part of body standards story.

I would highly recommend to stay away from that movie, and do not show this tasteless piece of confusion to your kids too. Save your time on earth for something better.
